Extremely rusty Mauser 1914 Impossible Restoration

#gunrestoration #restoration #restauration
Attempt to restore of a 1914 German Mauser pistol we have found while magnet fishing in South of France (not in a battlefield).

Judging by its condition, it has been in the water for decades, probably since WW1 or WW2.
The gun was much too damaged to be restored properly but we decided to preserve it by removing the rust and protecting the metal for a display.

It is a quite common gun which has no financial value. Judging by its condition we decided not to contact the police.

This video is only a restoration of a historical object and in no way about the apology of weapons.

Here is the video of its discovery : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJllN2jWhGs
